“Cruz’s stance reflects the original insistence of Movement Conservatives that the federal government must stay out of education policy.”

Cruz might want to hire this entity if it keeps spouting his campaign pledges to end federal involvement in education.

The idiots at Salon have their heads so far up their own asses they can not see clearly.
There is one person soley responsible for the push of America to the right and that is Barack Obama.
His constant lies, his disdain for America, the damge he has done to our economy our society and our place in the world has galvanized millions of Americans to see that we get back to what America can be.

“This was a suicidal strategy for a party trying to prove that it can govern”

It was SO SUICIDAL that the Republicans “Kicked a Little Ass” in the 2014 election (to borrow a term from Bush Sr.). If only the Republicans would commit ‘suicide’ in that fashion more often.

” These are the people Cruz disdains as “the mushy middle.”

The “mushy middle” has given us 18 TRILLION IN DEBT, a DOUBLING of Food Stamp recipients, less people in the labor force than ever (as a percentage), a military that is weaker than we were prior to WW2.

This entity may like the “mushy middle”. I certainly DO NOT.

Yes indeed, how much more vetting does Ted Cruz need ?

The left is vetting Ted Cruz for us and we don’t have to lift a finger.

The left, the media, the DNC, the Democrats, the GOPe is doing the heavy lifting for Ted Cruz and for us.

“The writer is correct, Cruz does not need to win the White House to push the agenda to the right.”

I agree. It’s looking as though Cruz has already pushed J.Bush overboard. His would-be donors are now holding back, looking for someone that actually may be able to stop Cruz, while still answering to the money. Walker is on that list, although Rubio and Christie are higher up.

So in other words, voting for the conservative even if he supposedly can’t win is the winning strategy.

The Left intends to destroy Ted Cruz with their feeble abuse but are unintentionally lifting him higher.

He is the beneficiary of a positive backlash not seen since the lefties called Ronald Reagan “The Racist Warmonger” back in 1980.

It’s what happens with professors who live in a cozy incestuous world consisting of those they see at the faculty club or students fearful of disagreeing with them.

When the news announces President-elect Cruz in 2016 all these academaniacs will react the same as in 1972 & 1980: “How did he manage to get elected!!? Nobody I know voted for him!”

If you want to know who our best possible choice for president is, just look to see which of our candidates the left vilifies most.

For 2016, there’s no doubt it’s Ted Cruz.

Ted Cruz. Accept no substitute.

Shut it down. Shut down the IRS, the Dept of Educ, the EPA and the TSA for starters.

It’s like none of these super lib profs understand that big, huge, mega-government is not what the Founders intended. Does it ever occur to any of these leftist wackos that our government was not meant to completely run people’s lives? I guess not.
